The Future

It's been said time and time again but junior year really is HARD. I've never had to work hard in school but all of a sudden I find myself burdened with heaps of homework and studying every night. My grades aren't really where I want them to be but they are close so I'm hoping that a little extra hard work over the next few weeks will help. The most upsetting grade is probably physics because my teacher is just crap and the only way to get a good grade in her class is to cheat, which I'm not really willing to do. I also am never one to blame it on the teacher but I will go ahead and be honest and blame it on mrs. Drake. I don't feel as though I've had many failures or taken many risks. I do wish that I hadn't missed so much school around spring break because I'm still making it up. I feel like this is the first year of highschool/of my life that I've really excelled socially. I've made a lot of new friends and I've had a pretty active social life. Therefore, I think that my summer is going to be absolutely incredible. I don't have too many solid plans but I will definitely be doing some research with an archaology professor from UK and I will be doing an internship with the speaker of the kentucky house. For senior year I want what we all want: to get to take it easy for a second. I am taking challenging courses but I've let myself off the hook a little bit in terms of how difficult the classes are. The class the I'm most looking forward to is TV radio in which I am not going to slack off! I'm really excited to have access to good equipment and to be able to come up with and create some interesting things. I also, like everyone else, want to get into a good college, of course this would ideally be an ivy but I'll be happy to go somewhere that fits me and that offers a good program of study for me.
